Whether SSD drives allow you to add any additional calls depends entirely on whether or not they can be written to faster than the SAS drives you have. My experience shows SSD's can be twice as fast as run-of-the-mill SATA, but the performance difference compared to SAS is likely not as great,

Thank you all for the answers. I will do tests to find the problem. One other question I have, in the scenario that I sent, how bad would be to transcode G711 to G729 in 70% of calls? There is a study that shows a statistically loss of performance (concurrent calls) with active transcode? tks

people I have a running Asterisk 1.8.28 in great Dell server with two xeon processors and 16gb of ram and HD SAS 15k (Raid 1). This server is recording all calls (placed to record the audio in a ram disk), the entire CDR goes straight to MySQL by cdr_mysql.so. Each call runs some validation and

Your bottleneck is most likely your drive bandwidth. Even with SAS drives, you'll need to move to a raid 5+ solution with 6+ drives to continue to increase the concurrent calls, or use a storage appliance. To confirm this, install the tool nmon and use the v and d options to bring up the

I would also do some math on the bandwidth requirement. If you divide your disk bandwidth by your recording bit rate what is the theoretical maximum number of calls that you can record at once? Assumes that you have infinite CPU and memory and that you can actually drive the disks at their

Do the calculations for both and see what the answer is. The nice thing about having a model is that you can test configurations without actually having to build one until you are confident that it should work. Ron On 23/07/2014 5:04 PM, Eduardo Leones wrote: Thanks for the feedback. In
